Valentine’s Day 2018 has arrived and love is in the air like the insatiable desire for free samples on a college campus. Whether you’re checking the clock every fifteen minutes in anticipation of a romantic dinner for two, or gearing up for a Galentine’s Day binge-watching session with Leslie Knope, we have great news. The perfect Valentine’s Day gift has never been easier to find—or more meaningful to purchase—thanks to Campus Causes, our college fundraising platform (even for our procrastinators out there: hint *eGift cards* hint).
All you have to do is visit Campus Causes, choose a fundraiser that aligns with a cause you want to support and shop-to-raise from the world’s leading brands and retailers.
